While this isn’t universal it sure has become the theme of my life lately.

The 30-something dudes that run the service desk at the car dealership always act like I am inconveniencing them and can’t bother to listen to me long enough to get service orders right. The day the woman that runs the parts department was covering the service desk, in one afternoon she resolve multiple problems with my account, sorted out a question from the dealership in another city and fixed the service order that kept coming up completely wrong that the two dudes couldn’t be bothered to do anything about. The only day I have gotten stellar service even though I throw money at this place when my car needs work.

I finalized my divorce earlier in the year and have spent months trying to get my ex husband off of my insurance policies and account. I had to deal with this regional office that seemed to be exclusively staffed by 30-something bros that didn’t want to let me remove my ex-husband, threw up red tape and refused to give me any options, then sent me on a 4 month wild goose chase for documentation that they refused to accept when I submitted it. Both were very much “you can never remove your ex husband from your account under any circumstances so live with it”. It was all incredibly unprofessional and weird.

I finally got fed up and starting looking for insurance elsewhere with the intent of forcing the policies to either cancel for non payment or refusing to renew them when they ended so there would at least be no active policies. But my ex husband would still be on the account, could open things in that joint account and make me responsible for them.

I get a call from the woman who is technically my account rep and doesn’t work in the regional office of bros. I explain to her why this is a total nightmare, that asking my exhusband to do anything could result in making everything worse, him trying to file claims or open things in my name. She understood and cooperated with what options could be used to eventually get me out of this policy and out of the account. She resolved all of this in about 2 hours between calling me and following up by email.

The same with my banker, my new veterinarian and a few other places. I seem to get incredible service and useful information when I am dealing with women professionals for the most part (of course there are a few exceptions) and absolutely horrible treatment when it is these 30-ish dudes.
